The president did nothing wrong

That seems to be the main statement coming out of the White House as well as Trump's own mouth. Be it any, and I do mean ANY other person, doing ANY other job, he or she would have been fired a long time ago for ANY reason. For being a blatant liar, a person nobody wants to work with, a terrible boss, a bad negotiator with an unreasonably big ego, a wannabe professional incapable of doing his job, for paying off his mistresses, or... Ah yes, how is Melania doing?

Are we really in the new world where idiocy like Trump's is being accepted as the new normal? I've said it again and again that Trump's presidency is dangerous, especially because it makes people stupid. Comparisons to the movie Idiocracy are nowadays already too flattering to Trump and start to show the idiot president in the movie in a bad light.

Now that Trump's former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen's tapes have come out where discussions about paying off Trump's mistresses can be heard, Trump's answer is that "The good news is that your favorite President did nothing wrong!" or as he tweeted:

"Inconceivable that the government would break into a lawyer's office (early in the morning) - almost unheard of. Even more inconceivable that a lawyer would tape a client - totally unheard of & perhaps illegal. The good news is that your favorite President did nothing wrong!"

The breach of attorney-client privilege aside, according to Trump, he never does anything wrong. And that's a sign all by itself. A person who never admits ANY wrongdoings is either lying, is simply stupid, or is a narcissistic sociopath.

Is that where we should be in 2018? Is that the president the United States of America deserves? Well, the sad thing is that people did elect him, and from this perspective, they do deserve him. But what about the rest of the world?

have your say

Trump, so badly wanting to be better than Obama, and thinking everything he thinks and does are better than Obama's decisions, is on a crusade to reverse everything Obama has done, and screw up the country, and the world, at the same time.

Trump has always been saying that the media is against him and ... you know, anything he doesn't like, is obviously fake news. But by saying that isn't he actually calling for an end of democracy and free press?

Lately there's been lots of talk about gun laws in the United States due to the most recent school shooting. While some eight year old's suggest teachers should all be armed with weapons, others are demanding stricter gun laws. And then there's Iowa.

Although it's now year 2018 not year 200, there are still enough people who think that round earth is just a conspiracy theory and that the earth is actually flat.
